Air Canada 787-9 | FRA-YVR | Economy

Filmed in July 2023
The transatlantic market is one of the busiest markets in the entire airline industry with the most competition from both continents. Although when people think of flying transatlantic with a North American-based carrier, the U.S. BIG 3 typically comes to mind. However, Air Canada has built up a large fleet and extensive route network to compete with airlines from the U.S. In this video, I experience what it’s like to fly Air Canada for over 9 hours over the Atlantic. The top thing that I noticed was that, besides the crew, everything else was mediocre. The flight wasn’t bad but it didn’t stand out from an AA or United flight.

Amazing to see the 787 managing that db of sound constantly, even in the back!( As the previous united video) I am sure the Trent 1000 is even more quiet :). For Air Canada, a least they do the Job. Always watch your videos 👍. Excellent work!

Thanks so much! I also noticed how the noise level was pretty much the same as in my United 787-10 video.

19:05 what was that for?!

[@theplanefacts]

That was just the plane changing course. It looks kinda funny because it is at 20x speed but it was a normal turn I assure you.

@@theplanefacts Oh ok XD

I would never ever choose a North American carrier to fly these days. That inflight service was primitive. They could join hands with any U.S. carrier. Absolutely disgusting.
PLUS THEY DO NOT OFFER AN INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS CABIN. Years ago the American airline industry was fantastic....So only Air France, Singapore, Lufthansa, British or Swiss
